Some paintings have a mild mixture of food coloring added to the coffee for enhanced pigmentation. Kape (coffee in Tagalog) Art is the visualization of prophetic dreams and visions, conscious or unconscious, using coffee as a medium. Dreams and visions are where our natural and spiritual lives meet. My use of the coffee is twofold. First, it is physically present in each painting as the medium its
elf. Second, it represents awakening, strength, clarity of thought, and the outpouring of a spirit weather Holy or unholy. I believe that God has blessed me with artistic abilities and I want to honor Him through my art. My spirit was inspired to fulfill my artistic talents when I stumbled upon Exodus 31:3 while reading the Bible: “I have filled him (her) with the Spirit of God, giving him (her) great wisdom, ability, and expertise in all kinds of crafts.”
